Mapping talent development: definition, scope and architecture

Over the past 20 years, China and India have emerged as the fastest growing economies in the world. In this context, the authors review, examine, and list the factors that have contributed to the emergence of China and India (referred to as Chindia). The authors compare the antecedents, characteristics, and consequences of their emergence in the global market. This article provides insights for the researchers and multinational enterprises from rest of the world to carry out studies on country analysis as well as foreign market entry modes. Besides, we posit theoretical and testable propositions for future research.

Gender equality in top management (C-suite) : a Christian-ethical perspective

China has emerged as the fastest-growing economy in the world. In this context, I discuss the antecedents, characteristics, and consequence of China’s rise in the world economy with reference to the “four W” framework (What, When, Where, and Why). This article provides insights into the role of exports and FDI in China’s rise. Theoretical as well as real-life factors contributing to this success are also listed. Comparative analysis with other emerging countries, such as India, is provided. In addition, directions for future research are outlined.

In rapidly growing Asian economies, the need to recruit and train additional leadership talent is particularly problematic, as the demand for talent continues to outstrip available indigenous human capital. Yet most leadership development research to date has focused on US samples. The current study extends our knowledge about how managers develop as leaders by analyzing and comparing qualitative data on key developmental events and lessons from senior executives in China and India, and including a comparison to similar recent US data.
